Why “ARG”

Each car is named by pairing the initials of the team's founding faculty advisor, Prof. Albert R. George (ARG), and the year each car is sent to competition, ie. ARG99 is the car sent to its competition debut in 1999. We are on the schedule of one car per year as the official competitions require a newly manufactured chassis (body/structure of the car) for each annual entry.
